About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
Good going Rahul Easwar, my respect for you has risen after listening to this talk of yours. Ignore the comments of some psychos here.
Impressive... We want people like u to unify this country..
This is so good to know ..
Walking on the same path
This was so refreshing!!..Heartfelt thanks to Rahul Easwar to bring forth the notion of India..Keep up the good work..Vande Mataram..Jai Hind!
superb speech...
Wonderful speech.
Why are Ted videos shot in india , not shot professionally?
The only relegion in the world with idea of inclusiveness each and everything is Hinduism
Excellent speech. I will always love my country. Shock of my life I started falling in love with my country INDIA.
Thank you
did you know what garuda is? The Garuda (Sanskrit: गरुड garuḍa, "eagle") is a large mythical bird or bird-like creature that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology . then how garuda indonesian airlines? because indonesia had a hindu past. don't open your mouth if you don't know anything.
he is able to convey his messages well through speeches..........really appreciable!!!
His name is well written in the caption , if you really wanted to know who the kid is.
for more details google Rahul_Easwar
And you sir, someone with very organised thinking & abundance of perception , kindly let us know what he is lacking & enlighten us with thy knowledge.
Dear Rahul, am sorry that some of my friends badly criticize you(without oppositional respect), without knowing your intention(INDIA IS NOT ONLY MY COUNTRY, SHE IS MY RELIGION TOO). So am telling sorry on behalf of them,and your propaganda will realize by them soon.So please continue with INDIA IS MY RELIGION.
Awesome speech......Rahul sir, u have said what i have believed since so long.
Hi Rahul,
Really a different way of thinking. I think I started loving that. Go ahead !!
Some people saying about Rahul's English....hey....try to understand what he is stating about. simply opposing about anything is not a not wise approach...after-all English is a medium of communication....as far as normal people like me is concern ,he communicate us.....that's enough.....good Rahul....kep it up
I am with you brother.
life stories of rahul eswar needed soo intresting and motivaing personality
Rahul iswar is Great personality from my place Kerala . I am hindavi vishwasi .
Impressive speech on Indian culture...
At 9:10, He erroneously stated Barrack Obama was BORN and brought up in INDONESIA. Rahul might want to actually check his facts, before giving a talk at TEDx.
Sir you have tremendous knowledge. I Thank you for sharing. I want to learn more form you please drop me a mess.
dude, the topic is India is my religion. he is not speaking about caste or other religions. refrain from ur sensitive words. A muslim like u shouldn criticize Hindus and its culture. Then wat is the difference between u and pakistan. read the whole comments here. did u find a single person criticizing ur religion unlike u targeting others. pathetic
A very interesting speech indeed. However, typical with the world today, fundamentalists can take cue from this and start taking actions to remove or change all that - one never knows! One has watched how in Afghanistan the Taliban of those days demolished some great sculptural work, forgetting how it
was done, when it was done etc which would have been a witness to the great
capabilities of the people lived during those times, whenever it was.
Human beings need to come out of the fear
cheers
there is no problem in the culture, it's the people who have created problem with in themselves
very good ted talk
respect the country. let it be anyone. if India was not there, there were many things would have been not invented. eg; the number zero was invented by Aryabatta who is an Indian. so respect all.
i would verify each of his "facts" myself. For instance, he's totally wrong about Machu Pichhu and he also says Obama was born in Indonesia - when any reasonably educated man knows the american president must be born in America (Obama was born in Hawaii). The word 'Maya' is a total coincedence.
Anyone after sabarimala issue?
super
why you went for foreign edctn & job
See, getting education from another nation is not anything like killing yourself. Even Gandhiji learn lots of stuff from abroad
I dont want to sound communal here....but the problem with India is the foreign abrahamic institutionalized religion like islam and christianity....Hinduism is more of a culture than religion....its like Egyptian culture, Mayan culture, Persian culture...similarily we have Indian culture i.e Hinduism.....mayans, persians and egyptians were converted by these abrahamic religion but we are still they way we use to be. these religions make our own ppl love vatican and mecca more than our country.
When you say they are similar, the responsibility of explaining is on you, pal. Cuz my comment about their dissimilarity was an effect of your comment about their similarity. So don't you think you need to explain why eagle and garuda are similar? You said they are similar, but did you provide any explanation? You didn't. So, why should I give you explanation for disagreeing with you?
Not only British were Racist & Brahmin were treating Dalits in the same Manner
very nice speech
even though i got a lot of information through this video, is hould say that you have to improve with your english.
Your English have grammitical error man. He doesn't have grammatical error he have only prounciation problem. You see yours first.
@ThePseudoBasher sounds as though the guy is well versed in mayan,egyptian,persian culture.Every religion is a culture coz religion is cultivated in groups (F.Schliermacher).When you love your country, what do you actually love?...the soil/trees/what is it that you actually mean when you say you love your country?This 'love for country is a cliché....an unexplainable one...a myth!
This guy need to read Rajiv M
@princevarghesem gadi.mallu english aano..tamil englishano..entho avatte..gadikku karyam manasilayille..athu mathi... :)
but kjy denied singing at guruvayoor. guess many chief priests and sanghs need to be educated. non hindus are not allowed in temples. it still is like that. why dont open the temples as just make it social gathering place ? why ppl were denied to enter temples till just 100 years back in india.
Then let me tell you, look at your own comment. You called Rahul Easwar a "poor man" for no reason! Just because he expressed his astonishment at the similarity of two nation's cultures, you concluded that he doesn't know the history of Indonesia? If you weren't abusive, I would have no need to be abusive. You just can't question anybody's knowledge like this? However, if you've been offended by my language then I'm sorry, I always apologize if I'm wrong, but you triggered me buddy!
why? did u knw all these things b4 ??
Very Good
even brahmin english is horrible... dont be a saddist in criticizing others..try to understand the bigger meaning of the speech...grow up dude..
@9886635574 : I agree. thought high of TED till now. Sad that I had to listen to this.
There's nothing new the speaker has to say. He is only imitating Vivekananda, Ananda Coomaraswamy and the like...all good people, but they made the mistake of equating Indian culture with their version of caste Hindu culture. When Hinduism itself is not a codified religion, but a way of life (sanatana dharma as he himself points out), what this speaker does is a corporated version of hindutva ideology.
Rose merin... Its true that rahul easwar is a religious cult but..... U should probably go nd do some research about all those people whom u called good people and dividing caste. Caste is every where.... Roman catholic, orthodox, pentacost, sunni, mujahid..... Etc.. Barbarism and brutality was every religions identity once ever in history.... Not kust hinduism
probably he should improve his english and come back.
most of the indians are like u, i am doing so n so because somone else is doing worst than me.
@ThePseudoBasher... really u have a girlfriend...u mean the girl in the bus -stop who doesnt even know you exist.....
nice
vallikuusan
@9886635574
Hello, Are you afraid of views and opinions?
Do you believe in "BLASPHEMY" ?
Just hear clearly what he talks, think for a moment and then take up each of
the point that he talks of. Explain how, why you disagree giving logical
reasoning. That will educate self and others. Fear is the problem of most
of us, human beings and Fear is a product of IGNORANCE. To over come
fear one need to listen, think, analyze, discuss and debate etc - sweetly.
cheers
Sir solo ....u asl
Hi I'm Rahul roy
So you are saying to have "zero" respect for them, i see. ;)
@checkthatnow is correct...dude never quite explained what the notion of india is all about...this is the usual gibberish that brahmins bring up all the time....
@ThePseudoBasher I think ignorants need to look at the definition of religion. There are scholars who spent a lifetime studying religion/s and defining them. Read some of them and then sing praises to such speeches. BTW: u learned to spell 'imperial' just because of English language...lol...and Arabs are a race...it is like telling Dravidians worshipped hindu gods!..OMG...asato ma sat gamaya....
HEY DUDE..U SPEAK A FEW WORDS IN ENGLISH AN C...HOW IT IS..DNT POINT IT OUT TO OTHERS.
what is there in language english? it is nt our native language?it is just to communicate....dear friend travel outside india and u will notice the standard with which most learned people speak english, i must say it is pathetic,he is far better.......its the common notion especially frm ppl in india.....u sud speak proper english...who cares.....he sud communicate tats all.....
It really sucks and totally deceives the TED philosophy. I wonder who invited this guy to such an event!
Too much common things, expect something extraordinary or at least something different from this guy .
A bunch of hoax stories and fallacies...OMG can someone stop this babble?...unscientific and unproven mythologies take shape in the form of so called pseudo-intellectual speeches such as this.If the British had not come to India, we would have been like parts of Africa, ruled by chieftains and princes. The pathetic concept of Akanda Bharat, proposed by some psycho-religious people never included South India, the land of Dasus and Rakshasas.BTW: He never explained the so called 'notion' of India.
Is this copied, seeing your debate in republic i doubt your intelligence !!!Rahul Eeswar!!
TEDx should be careful in showing the speakers to avoid pontificating idiots like him. You call India as a religion? its hurting my ribs.
Ha ha haaa....
Good rhyme....(nation...also a notion...). No reason.
India has always needed mainstream interpreters who would harmonize the dichotomy in the caste-ridden, ritualistic, and regressive cultural hegemony backed the so called sacred texts. This guy is the new star in the show. I guess, if you change the attire and language, it sounds nothing different from a born-again believer in Jesus.
BTW, this guy has proven his philosophical mettle amongst random chicks in a sleazy Malayalam reality show. Check out that show for some more perspective.
I am getting tired of searching for some sense in TED talks nowadays!
Remember that TEDx talks aren't TED talks
+Akshay S Dinesh TEDx are independent TED-like events, which can be organized by anyone who obtains a free license from TED, agreeing to follow certain principles.
The difference between TED and TEDx events are that the former takes more of a global approach while the latter typically focuses on a local community that concentrates on local voices. “Officially, the 'x' inTEDx stands for independently organized TED event - but it's more of aTED multiplied.
What the fuck does that mean, +adana alani? (That does sound like a real name, BTW).
Get lost...? What the fuck for?
Are you this dude's maid who also doubles up as his butch? Did he give you a bonus for this comment, loser?
STFU...and start building a temple for your star!
who put this joker on stage..
junk
mere truth to the core ,good attitude ,rahul eeswar sir
I think Rahul don't know the real face of India, Unity in diversity here only in text books and papers. If we have unity we will not fight among states for water, border disputes, etc. If we have unity we will not face these much communal violence. And also for Rahul the world is not only the countries such as America, China, Sri Lanka. There are so many countries lives peacefully and accept others also some are Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland etc so come out of the closed well.
Noticed something about brahmins they always have to mention somewhere that they are ""Born into a Namboothiri Brahmin Family"...or something of that sort. Nobody else does that.
He speaks english--I think he needs to be reminded of Macaulay.The guy seems to be caught up in the clutches of fanatic hindu literature. Grow up kiddos.The concept of India never had such vast land. C.F.,I am yet to come across a historical book that says India included any land below river godavari....let alone Pakistan and Bangladesh. OMG we need historians to speak about this...not an ignoramus guy...manufacturing history on stage!!!
really Ted needs speakers like Prof . Ravichandran c
How TED alows him to talk here...i had good image about TED...he is simply foolishness...he will talk well..i like his talk..but TED he is not a sutable speaker..
Ted talks are my real inspiration... Please dnt invite people like him to thia show.... Its 2010.....in 2019 he has become that perfect relogious cult leader... So hes not deserving to be on that stage... Nd look at the hate comments
i don't see any big deal in this video.
A brave speaker. That's all to him. He lacks any new fresh thought or ideas. No offence meant, but promoting India itself is too overloaded and too vague. He went all over the places and could not systematic build on the foundation of 'India as a Notion'. Mere utterance of facts like 2 lakhs Britsihers ruled 20 crore Indians could be entertaining, to say the least. But lacks an Idea.
No surprise, u r pessimist. When he said Americans are intelligent does NOT mean Indians are dumb. It could be less intelligent, not being too smart. You wanted him to speak all negative things about India just because you r a pessimist. He actually did that. Just that he has put that in a +ve perspective and told how bad things can happen if nationality was not an interest. See the video properly.
If you want all -veness about country, go and watch such videos, available online.
Barack Obama was not born in Indonesia.. please dont just say these things passively...
Hey Rahul, very great speech, congratulation !! we the proud hindus are with you and will ignore petty criticism
mr rahul ur hind u should say that without shiver , i hope u cant,because this is indian hidu?
if u can tolerate his accent, he does seem to make sense..
he largely copies from speeches of Shashi Tharoor!!!!!
We need more from u
his speech is very fast and on hurry....
All the speakers are given a particular time limit to finish their speech. Which explains the haste
Grt :)
Very gud
holy crap!
He makes a statement, after 30 seconds he says don't be like that.
He makes another statement, after 30 seconds he say's its wrong.
He makes another another statement, after 30 seconds he say's that's not the way it must be.
75% of time he was explaining Indonesia.
The most boring TEDx talks ever heard.
One of the most informative & interesting TED talks I've heard.
As long as we have Hindus like you this country will never progress
